Before Qin Wentian stepped into the Dark Forest, he already knew that there would be people trying to assassinate him. But since Mustang didn't object, it must be because he wanted to temper him.
"My current cultivation base is at the 8th level of the Body Refinement Realm, with a strength of over 100 bulls. Ordinary cultivators at the 1st level of the Arterial Circulation Realm would be able to deal with me. However, if it was someone at the Arterial Circulation Realm who had condensed a powerful Astral Soul, it would be extremely difficult to deal with them." Qin Wentian silently speculated as he whispered to Fan Le, "Fan Le, I have an enemy. Why don't we go our separate ways?"
Fan Le turned his gaze over, borrowing the dim light from the fire to look at Qin Wentian's face. His eyes flashed with a strange light as he laughed, "I, Fan Le, am the number one genius of this batch. How can I abandon my comrades?"
"Don't worry, although we've entered the Dark Forest, they wouldn't dare to make a move within a ten mile radius. Now that the students have yet to disperse, it wouldn't be good if news of this were to spread out." Fan Le smiled as he continued, "Let's go, there's light in front of us."
"Okay." Qin Wentian was a straightforward person. Although Fan Le was a little shameless, his character wasn't bad.
In front of them, on a slope, there were several people who had set up simple tents.
"Qin Wentian." A surprised voice drifted over. Qin Wentian cast his gaze towards the entrance of a tent, and a smile appeared on his face. He had actually met someone he knew.
"Liu Yan, why are you here?" Qin Wentian walked forward. He thought that Liu Yan was the one who saved his life previously.
"I'm participating in the examination for the Divine Wind Academy. Quickly extinguish the fire and come inside the tent. The light from the fire will attract demonic beasts." Liu Yan smiled.
Other than Liu Yan, there were two other youths in the tent. One was her brother, Liu Yue, and the other was her friend, Zhuo Fan.
"Liu Yan, why did you invite strangers in?" Liu Yue frowned. Zhuo Fan also had an unhappy expression on his face.
"Brother, this is Qin Wentian whom we met at the outskirts of Sky Harmony City."
Liu Yan replied. After which, she looked at Qin Wentian and asked, "Oh right, why are you here in the Dark Forest? Are you also participating in the examination?"
"We will participate in the examination of the Emperor Star Academy." Straightening his robes, Fan Le walked forward and extended his hand, "How do you do? My name is Fan Le, the future star of the Emperor Star Academy."
"Emperor Star Academy." Liu Yan's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light as she stretched out her hand to shake Fan Le's.
"Liu Yan, you are so beautiful and talented. How rare," Fan Le commented.
Liu Yan smiled, she wanted to retract her hand, but Fan Le didn't seem to have any intentions of letting go.
"Did you guys build this tent? You guys must have experience in the wilderness."
"Is Qin Wentian your friend? He and I are good brothers, so we are also friends."
Qin Wentian stared dumbfoundedly at Fan Le's unrelenting grip. This fellow was truly one of a kind.
Liu Yan blushed and finally pulled her hand back. She glanced at Qin Wentian.
"I don't know him." Qin Wentian was sweating profusely, he had lost too much face.
"The two of you, since we met, we are friends. Although this tent is a little simpler, why don't you two rest here for a night? Tomorrow, we will set off together in the morning. It would be safer that way." Liu Yue walked over, smiling at Qin Wentian and Fan Le.
"Yes, I shall accept your invitation." Fan Le straightforwardly agreed, while Qin Wentian stood at the side speechlessly.
"Liu Yan, Fan Le, I'm going out for a walk. You guys chat." Qin Wentian laughed as he walked out of the tent.
"This little brat." Fan Le glared at Qin Wentian before turning to Liu Yan, "Liu Yan, see you later."
After which, he followed behind Qin Wentian, "What's wrong? You don't like Liu Yan?"
"No, Liu Yan's personality isn't bad, but her two friends don't seem to welcome us. Why do we have to stay there?" Fan Le could also tell that Qin Wentian's attitude had changed when he said that he was one of the examinees of the Emperor Star Academy.
"In addition, there are people watching us. I need to cultivate and increase my strength. How can I disappoint them?" Qin Wentian's lips curled up in a cold smile, causing Fan Le to freeze. The smile on Qin Wentian's face gave him a sense of sharpness, as though he was about to bare his fangs.
"Fine, I, the number one genius of the Emperor Star Academy, will accompany them to play." Fan Le grinned.
Qin Wentian ignored Fan Le's boasting. He walked towards an ancient tree and sat down cross-legged. After which, he closed his eyes and started cultivating. An instant later, a humming sound echoed out from within his body, akin to the roaring of the Astral Sea.
Fan Le's eyes narrowed. What a tyrannical cultivation art. However, it was time for him to get to work.
His silhouette flickered as he dashed towards the depths of the forest.
Qin Wentian, who was immersed in the Astral Light, felt exceptionally tranquil. However, the fluctuations within his body were incomparably violent. The Astral Energy frenziedly gushed into his body, tempering his internal organs as well as his Stellar Meridians.
The next day, before the sun had even risen, the students in this area had already awoken and were on their way. Qin Wentian opened his eyes, only to see Fan Le lying under a tree opposite him. In his hands, there was a bow as well as several arrows.
"Fatty, it's time to move out." Qin Wentian called out. Only then did Fan Le open his sleepy eyes, as he grinned at Qin Wentian.
"How did you make this bow and arrows?" Qin Wentian curiously asked. Although Fan Le's bow and arrows were crude, it gave off a feeling of sharpness.
"I chopped down a few ancient trees and killed a few demonic beasts." Fan Le casually replied. After which, he added, "Let's move out."
"Right, let's go." The two of them exchanged glances as they stood up and dashed towards the depths of the Dark Forest. Their speed was as fast as a hurricane, and in the blink of an eye, their silhouettes had already disappeared.
A few moments later, a group of youths dashed over. The person in the lead was none other than Orfon from the Emperor Star Academy. The rest of them were also freshmen from the various academies.
"Chase, we can directly make our move after we pass this area." Orfon coldly commanded. The group of youths madly dashed in pursuit, resembling a pack of ferocious cheetahs.
"Fatty, you can actually run so fast." Qin Wentian couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder when he saw Fan Le sprinting with the speed of a wild beast. His fat body was extremely agile and nimble, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.
"I, your father, am a genius." Fan Le proudly declared.
Qin Wentian cast a disdainful glance at him as he continued, "There are a total of six people behind us."
"Orfon, 2nd level of the Arterial Circulation Realm. As for the other five, one is at the 1st level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, while the other four are at the Body Refinement Realm. It's going to be a little difficult. Let's grind them down a little more." Fan Le casually stated, causing Qin Wentian's eyes to flash with a brilliant light.
This fatty was actually able to see through the cultivation bases of others? Could it be that he was really a genius?
"There are people in front of us as well." Qin Wentian gazed at a vast area in the distance.
"People from the Royal Academy. The one in the lead is Ye Zhan. I've seen him taking the entrance examination at the Royal Academy before. His cultivation base is at the 2nd level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, and he even exudes killing intent. Who did you offend? Let's change directions."
As Fan Le spoke, he immediately sprinted towards the left. Qin Wentian didn't hesitate as he followed after him. The Ye Clan had spent a lot of effort to kill him. They were extremely powerful in the Royal Capital, and if he didn't enter the Emperor Star Academy, he would definitely die a violent death.
Teacher Mustang had really given him a difficult problem. But even so, so what? This time around, he had gained a good brother.
"Fan Le, thank you." Qin Wentian thanked him as he sprinted.
"Don't be sour, I, Fatty, am extremely righteous. In the future, don't forget me, Fatty, if you meet any beautiful women in the future." Fan Le grinned.
The people behind were still in hot pursuit. After an hour, they had already entered the depths of the Dark Forest, and there were traces of demonic beasts moving about.
"There are still four people following closely behind. Fatty, what's their cultivation base?" Qin Wentian inquired.
"Orfon, there's also that person at the 1st level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, as well as two others at the Body Refinement Realm. Shall we do it?" Fan Le asked.
"Yes." Qin Wentian decisively replied, abruptly halting his steps. However, Fan Le didn't stop. He stomped on the ground and soared into the air, landing on top of a huge tree. Facing Qin Wentian, he stated, "I'll control the demonic beasts, you kill them. Let's kill the two at the Body Refinement Realm first."
"Okay." Not knowing why, Qin Wentian had an exceptional amount of trust in that shameless fatty. Stabilizing his steps, he turned around and waited for the others to catch up.
Orfon and the other three, upon seeing that Qin Wentian had stopped, also slowed down. Their gazes were akin to that of venomous snakes as they stared at Qin Wentian, their killing intent unmasked. The four of them formed an arc as they advanced towards Qin Wentian.
"For the sake of killing me, how much strength did the Ye Clan use?" Qin Wentian asked as he stared at Orfon.
"Ye Clan? Many people want to kill you, and that crippled second uncle of yours actually dared to rebel. Sooner or later, he will be executed. Qin Wu and Qin Chuan have already been sent to the Death Prison of the Black Stronghold. " Orfon coldly laughed, as he waved his hands. Momentarily, the three on his left and right simultaneously dashed towards Qin Wentian, their killing intent unconcealed.
"Swish." Abruptly, a terrifying sharp arrow pierced through the air from behind Qin Wentian, shooting towards Orfon with a speed as fast as lightning.
"Left." Fan Le's voice drifted over. Qin Wentian immediately dashed towards the Body Refinement Realm cultivator on the left.
"Swish, swish, swish …" Arrows unceasingly pierced through the air, shooting towards the three at the same time. Only the one on the left was left for Qin Wentian.
"Break." Orfon's Astral Soul manifested, as the Astral Light coalesced into a long spear, emitting a howl of rage as it pierced towards the arrow in front of him. However, at this moment, the arrow trembled slightly, and actually changed its trajectory, brushing past the long spear and piercing straight towards the centre of Orfon's brows.
"How could this be?" Orfon's countenance drastically changed, as he hurriedly blasted out with his left palm, causing a raging wind to kick up. However, he only saw his body explosively retreating, as the arrow was blocked. Despite that, the arrow still managed to pierce through Orfon's palm, causing fresh blood to flow out from it.
"An arrow that can change direction."
Orfon wasn't the only one who suffered such a fate. The other two didn't fare too well either. One of the Body Refinement Realm cultivators was directly pierced through the centre of his brows, dying under the power of that arrow.
At the moment when they were struck by the arrow, Qin Wentian lunged towards the Body Refinement Realm cultivator on the left, punching out with a punch akin to the roar of a true dragon. The Nine Heavens Dragon Roar contained boundless might, and the instant the Body Refinement Realm cultivator punched out, he instantly regretted his decision. His strength simply couldn't be compared to Qin Wentian.
The sound of bones shattering rang out. Qin Wentian's Dragon Subduing Fist was like a hot knife through butter. The Body Refinement Realm cultivator didn't even have the time to release his Astral Soul before he was smashed into smithereens.
In the blink of an eye, Fan Le and Qin Wentian had already killed two people.
